Strasburg Diorama

I've seen this in person and it's BEAUTIFUL!

Nicely Done.

Nice work - looks great taken outside! Appreciate your informative video.

Very nicely done! Have visited that location many times over the years. This would also have made a fine step-by-step how-to article for our magazine readers, so please keep us in mind if/when you tackle another project. Also would have gotten you a couple of hundred bucks to help finance a future project.

Nice work!

Building dioramas are great projects .... great for learning, they're fun to do.

Really cool.

Thank you all for the kind words. I’m looking forward to doing this again soon!

Excellent work, and thanks for posting.  It's a great re-creation of a real location.  My only comment is regarding the front crossing gate - you mentioned that it was omitted so that it won't block the view of a train when taking photos.  While this true, in real life the signal would be visible in a photo at that location, and nobody thinks anything of it.  Since realism was your objective (and you've done great!), I think that adding the front crossing signal would be appropriate.
